Friday, September 10, 2021 - Another lost Friday afternoon gathering - mostly French (Jailbreak Brewery, Laurel, MD): Expressive nose displaying perfectly ripe black fruit, crème de cassis, blueberry, black cherry, dark milk chocolate, cedar, light caramel and mineral. Excellent concentration, beautifully layered perfectly ripe black fruit, perfect balance and precision, silky and polished, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a seamless long black fruit driven finish. Although modern, this is a classic Pauillac. It is drinking beautifully in a youthful way but can improve for a few more decades.
